I've always thought this would be the next evolution for the navi system a few years down the road.

Internet capable cars for real time traffic, real time weather maps on Navi screen, sports/news events read to you, reading emails to you, internet radio/TV, restaurant/business address w/ web address you can view, uploading/downloading and storing/transfering music/videos/games/movies/TV shows on internal 300GB flash-drive, and downloading of current Navi data (instead of waiting once a year for a disk updates).

You are about 5-10 years ahead of the rest of the auto industry.

i'll get on those daylight pics, but i just put my seat back in today. the pc has 1ghz, 512 mb ram, slot loading dvd, with a via m10000 motherboard. didn't want a beasty computer to suck out all my energy from my battery. I got the parts from a whole mess of places, the screen i got by using froogle.
